"Mon Dieu! if a man could eat himself into knighthood, Humphrey, you had been a banneret at the least," observed another, amid a burst of laughter. "And if you could drink yourself in, old leather-head, you had been first baron of the realm," cried the aggrieved Humphrey.
It was the morning of the third day, and the friends were filling the little bag fast; and at breakfast George quizzed Robinson's late fears. "The leather-head didn't tell anybody, for here we are all alone." Robinson laughed. "But we should not have been, if I had let you light a fire. However, I really begin to hope now they will let us alone till we have cleared out the gully. Hallo!"
